[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, good grief! The *average* sized woman in the U.S. is a size 12-14. This lady is a size 16 which is pretty darned close to the average. This woman IS normal and perfectly beautiful. The much smaller sized women on the covers of SI are also gorgeous but do realize that a size 4 is W-A-Y below average size. Like it or not, size 2 does not represent the average woman. [/quote] The average sized woman in the US is overweight through obese...[/quote] What's sad is that we now have to choose between showing an average size that's unhealthy, or showing a healthy size that is perceived to be too skinny, because it has become rare and seemingly unattainable, when it's really not. The photograph is beautiful, but the media should not encourage people to think positively about being overweight. It costs too much for society in quality of life, healthcare expenses and shortening of life expectancy. [/quote]
